How can I open a SystemWindow with a certain extent?

I have a subclass of SystemWindow which I am trying to open with a specific
extent. I have a buildWindow method that adds all my widgetry and I have a
line of code like:

self extent: 20 @ 50.

When it opens, this extent isn't respected. How can I do this?

thanks,
Rob

You open it using this method:

#openInWorldExtent:

Note that the extent that is passed in does not include the system window
frame, which is the title bar and sizing handles.

Try something like

SystemWindow new
minimumExtent: 20@30;
extent: 20@30;
openAsIs

You have to do it outside, because openInWorld works different

Try

SystemWindow new openInWorld; extent: 400@400.

instead.

Thanks, Jon. Works like a champ.

It uses similar methods to those Gary posted, but this is more high-level.

Cheers,
Rob

Except that, for the UIEnhancements, things now actually respect the
minimumExtent...
